The second release from the historic TIP Records (which later closed up shop and reopened as TIP World). This is a nice slice of history from Total Eclipse, one of the more important early bands that has begun to fade from site outside of the occasion track on a comp these days. Waiting For A New Life is classic piece of long, wonderfully indulgent old goa which has aged remarkably well. With proper placement, I could even see this track being used today. The sounds are all clear and crisp and the production is almost amazing when you consider the era. Transparent Mind is more typical fare from the era in question. Not bad, but a bit dated and simplistic. Bom Bole is also very much eary goa, but it pretty nice regardless. There are some interesting change ups in it to turn things on their head and again the production is pretty solid. Bom Bole can probably be used today too with proper mixing skills and sense of track flow.
End Result - an old but very nice EP from the early days of TIP and goa in general.
4.5/5 (
